How to copy bucket in amazon S3?

I'm really sick of amazon ability to clone a bucket. They don't offer bucket renaming and they don't offer a good way to copy bucket with dozen of thousands files in it. Is there a way that take seconds to minutes instead of hours?

You can easily clone a bucket by using sync. (First create the bucket you want to clone it to):

aws s3 sync --quiet s3://[bucket-old] s3://[bucket-new]

Tip: use the --dryrun flag to see what you're doing first (and break it off when it looks good or else you have to wait for your thousands of files to finish listing)
